The Ekar Gt shifter was designed using Campagnolo's unrivaled experience and ingenuity, developed and refined over over 90 years of innovation.
The dedicated 1x system and the 13 speeds make it effective, the use of the 9-tooth sprocket allows the creation of a complete range of gears with short, equidistant changes and well-maintained cadence levels. The technology, design and material were chosen to satisfy the specific performance needs of all-road and gravel lovers, the combination of quick, precise and reliable shifting combined with the high safety of the chain, lightness, durability and robustness make it rightfully entered into the all-road arena.
The mid-length cage shifter design is compatible with different sprocket sizes on all four cassette gearing options, from 9-36 to 10-48, perfect for any gravel needs. The 2D trajectory of the parallelogram is designed specifically for the Ekar Gt 1x system, in order to make the gearbox perform precise mechanical movements to best use the 13 sprockets. Its oversized wheels guarantee optimal operation and high chain retention to ensure safety and peace of mind, whatever terrain you face. The clutch, permanently engaged for greater chain retention reliability and minimal operating noise, can be locked forward for easy wheel removal.
In the Ekar Gt gearbox alone, there are more than 70 carefully designed and engineered individual parts. Carbon fiber reinforced polyamide and anodized 7075 and 6082 alloys are expertly combined in the body and rocker arm of the Ekar Gt gearbox to achieve the best combination of strength, durability and lightness, for long-term reliable operation and to ensure excellent resistance to impacts, sand and dust from gravel routes while the screws have been made of steel WITH SPECIAL SURFACE TREATMENT to guarantee long-term resistance and resilience in the most difficult conditions.
